Hi folks... I'm having my tires replaced on my o6 Low Rider and my mechanic is having a hard time removing the rear axle. Any suggestions?

 

Probably rusted to the bearings. Put anti seize on it before reinstalling.

 

PB blaster, let it soak over night, then wooden doll and big hammer... very common

 

if he uses a punch just make sure it is a thin longer punch so it does not flare out the thread area.

 

one last thing, get ready to replace your bearings as well this is goign to put a hell of a strain on your bearing races removing this sucker

 

+1 on replacing the bearings if they have to beat the axle out.

The dealer tech destroyed my rear axle when replacing the factory tires on my Low Rider. Nobody had an axle in stock, I waited 4 weeks for my bike.

 

 

Thanks...I got lucky and found an axle locally. Nice looking Dyna you got there.
